DYNAMIC ALERTS FOR CALENDAR EVENTS

摘要

A computing device can access a calendar entry having an associated time and an associated location, in a calendar application. The computing device can dynamically determine an estimated travel time to the location associated with the calendar entry. The computing device can provide an alarm indication for the calendar entry at a time based on the estimated travel time.

主权项

1. A method, implemented by a computing device associated with a user, comprising:
the computing device configured to:
access a calendar entry in a calendar, wherein the calendar entry comprises an associated time and an associated location;determine a route to the associated location;dynamically determine an estimated route travel time as an amount of time traveled along the route;determine a total travel time comprising the estimated route travel time and an amount of time required for the user to reach the associated location not factored into the estimated route travel time;update an adaptive alarm time in accordance with the total travel time and an alert buffer period, the alert buffer period providing sufficient notice for the user to arrive at the associated location by the associated time;compare a current time with the adaptive alarm time; andprovide an alarm indication for the calendar entry based on the comparison of the current time with the adaptive alarm time.
